scons LIBPATH on windows with msys

Hi, I'm working on a C++ project using LLVM and I'd like to replace the LLVM build system (which uses autoconf and make) with scons. Unfortunately I've now run into a major problem. I want my project to compile on Linux as well as Windows. To compile on Windows I use mingw/msys which works perfectly with the autoconf/make system in plac...

Git-windows case sensitive file names not handled properly

We have the git bare repository in unix that has files with same name that differs only in cases. Example: GRANT.sql grant.sql When we clone the bare repository from unix in to a windows box, git status detects the file as modified. The working tree is loaded only with grant.sql, but git status compares grant.sql and GRANT.sql and sh...

Executing MSYS from cmd.exe with arguments

Hi, I am trying to learn wxWidgets library, using mingw and msys to compile the code. So far so good, but I can not find a way to send a command to MSYS through CMD.exe. I use SublimeText to edit files, and it has an option to run makefiles. I want my makefiles to be able to open an instance of MSYS and send the g++ command and argument...

Changing timezone in MSYS

Hello, how can I change timezone on MSYS+MinGW for Windows if I have only "date" command installed? There are no "tzconfig" or "tzselect" here. When I try $date --set="Apr 01 23:08 UTC+04:00" I receive 19:08 GMT+0 result. This is very important for me because "make" command always gives me errors about files modified in future. ...

Invoking MSYS bash from Windows cmd

I'm using GCC on Windows7 (using the TDM's build). I installed MSYS to be able to execute make and compile using makefiles. However, it is tedious to every time start up the MSYS bash shell, navigate to the directory of the project and run make. What I want is to automate this process. I prefer to have a batch file in Windows, or someth...

msys+mingw - is there installer or at least .tar.lzma/.zip?

I try to install n'th time the msys+mingw - however with little success. I need the minimal developer system (standard tools such as sed/awk+autotools+gcc) however each time something is not working (for example currently when I try to run autotools m4 goes into some error loop on AC_INIT). I know they stopped providing installer 'for e...

Hello stackoverflow members, How can I use gtkmm with MinGW (g++) without MSYS? Here is the story of my problem: I installed MinGW offline with all required packages (full install).

Compiling GCC 4.x.x on MinGW / MSYS Fails

I've been attempting for the last week or so to compile any of the GCC 4 series of compilers to run in MinGW 5.1.6 / MSYS 1.0.11 (automated installers both from Sourceforge.org) which ships with GCC version 3.4.5. The end goal is to get GCC 4.5 to install, but I haven't been able to get any of the 4.x.x compilers to build. I've narrowe...

How to download all files from a specific Sourceforge project?

After spending about an hour downloading almost every Msys package from sourceforge I'm wondering whether there is a more clever way to do this. Is it possible to use wget for this purpose? ...

Using mingw/msys just for its posix tools: mount point question

I write cross-platform software, so I like my Windows environment to be Un*x-like (I'm an old Unix/IRIX/Linux geek). I just care about shells and tools, not so much about compilers or the build environment (I have a real industrial-strength build system that doesn't depend on mingw or cygwin). I just want a shell window on my Windows b...

Building the latest iconv and libxml2 binaries in Win32

I'm trying to get MinGW and MSYS working so I can build iconv and libxml2 in Windows, but I'm finding ./configure and make are giving lots of BSD/Unix related errors that aren't specific enough to google, and not descriptive enough for me to figure out. Can anybody go through some of the steps needed to get iconv and libxml2 .dll/.lib b...

C++ Netbeans 6.9.1 and MSYS console

Is there any way i could write MSYS commands inside netbeans IDE. IDE does compile c++ files using MSYS isn't it? And then it shows the output errors or warnings and stuff. Please answer. ...

Using Cygwin as a shell for MinGW

I have Cygwin and MinGW(TDM) installed. To build certain projects from source, you have to run a ./configure script, which requires a bash shell and certain unix utilities. For this, the MinGW project distributes MSYS, which is basically an old, stripped-down version Cygwin. I already have Cygwin installed, so I'd rather just use that. W...

Recursively search for files of a given name, and find instances of a particular phrase AND display the path to that file

I have a bunch of folders and subfolders. Each one contains, amongst other things, a text file called index.yml with useful data. I want to search through all of the different index.yml files to find instances of a search string. I must be able to see a few lines of context and the directory of the index.yml file that was found. This...

Does the current version of msysgit support process substitution?

Under my version of msysgit, I can't use process substitution. cat <(echo 'foo') sh.exe": cannot make pipe for process substitution: Function not implemented If I upgraded to the latest version of msysgit, would its version of msys / mingw be able to handle process substitution?
